Spirit of Giving

People in Rhode Island and around the country have responded to last week's terrorist attacks with a spirit of giving. They're giving blood, money, goods, and time. Many donations are no longer being accepted. Experts say the magnitude of last week's events and all the media coverage has motivated people to become more charitable. Some local charities hope they don't later see decreases in donations for other causes. WRNI's Ellen Liberman prepared this report.
